‘Inside the NBA’ to Trail the Miami Heat

It won’t be quite as nauseating as ESPN.com‘s “Heat Index”, but EJ, Kenny and Charles are going to pay quite a bit of attention to Miami this year. From the AP: “Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson will be on site when the Miami Heat open the NBA season at Boston on Oct. 26. The trio also will broadcast live from Quicken Loans Arena on Dec. 2 when James returns to Cleveland for the first time as a visiting player. Barkley has been critical of the way James handled his departure from the Cavaliers in July. TNT’s team traditionally only travels from its Atlanta studio for All-Star weekend and the network’s coverage of the conference finals.”
